Some media suggest that the vote for Pedro Sánchez’s investiture could be held on October 27, before Princess Leonor swears in the Constitution. It is not an official date, but the parties continue to talk about the transfers that Sánchez could commit to in order to obtain the votes necessary to govern.

The Deputy Secretary of Economy of the Popular Party, Juan Bravo, has spoken about the idea of ​​forgiving debt to Catalonia and has demanded to know what the conditions are because he understands that “the principle of equality will prevail and will be the same for all autonomous communities.”

Bravo has criticized that the review of the Spanish Recovery Plan, with which a total of 93.5 billion additional euros will be mobilized, means that “Europe contributes more money because Spain has not grown.”

The government did not speak about the investiture this Saturday, but it does take advantage of what has been achieved in Europe. The first vice president and acting minister of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño, has assured that Spain is immersed in a process of economic “modernization”, promoted by the Government and developed “hand in hand with the different administrations and especially with municipalities”.

Calviño has highlighted that in a “moment of absolutely extraordinary challenges” as he considers the current era in which “citizens feel uneasy”, the leadership of people with “a clear vision of what they want for their society” is “fundamental.” land” and a willingness to “roll up your sleeves and work hard” to achieve it.

Díaz defends continuing to tax banks

Meanwhile, Sumar launches a challenge to his government partners: raise taxes on banks. The leader of Sumar and acting vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, stated this Saturday in Valencia that she does not agree with the president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, who “very legitimately represents his own people” and is “getting rich”, nor nor with “the Socialist Party, which agrees with the Popular Party in not imposing taxes on banks.”

The acting vice president of the Government has also regretted that the banks have gone so far as to say that “if we had not applied the tax, they would have achieved profits of up to 67% and they were complaining yesterday” because they had not achieved it. Díaz has denounced that “there is no tax justice in Spain” and has defended that the next legislature has to be the one that addresses a “in-depth” tax reform in Spain.

This Friday, the acting president of the Government and leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, met this Friday with representatives of feminist groups as part of his round of contacts for the investiture, and highlighted the approval in the last legislature of 255 norms of equality “with positive impact.”
